Discovery, light snapshots, network status.

A resilient discovery and light snapshot layer for the Alphanumeric network. Nodes announce, clients discover peers, and the site stays active even when the network is quiet.

Discovery

Nodes POST signed announcements and clients fetch ranked peers. Works at small scale and holds up to hundreds of nodes using KV-backed storage.

POST /api/announce

GET /api/peers

Light Snapshot

Validators submit signed header snapshots. The site shows last known height and timestamps with a clear stale marker.

POST /api/headers

GET /api/chain-snapshot

Health

Simple uptime endpoint and CORS-friendly APIs for nodes and tools.

GET /api/health

How It Works

Discovery

Nodes announce signed status to the gateway.

Sync

Chain data syncs directly from verified nodes.

Run a Node
